Nintendo Drops GameCube Price to $150

As the consoles currently stand, the GameCube is $50 cheaper than both the X-Box and the PS2, letting it retain half of its price edge on its competitors. Neither Sony nor Microsoft has commented on it yet, but Microsoft might decide to lower the price of the X-Box a little bit more in retaliation. Yay, competitive pricing!"

There are still games coming out for the Neo Geo too; obsolescence doesn't mean it doesn't function.

From what I've heard the Euros were creating (and selling at retail) Amiga and Sega Master System software years and years after they disappeared in the US. Poor provincials.
